Question

Why oxidation addition in complex increases down the grop?

Answer 1

Of course, if the leaving group comes back and forms a new bond to the metal, we're back to oxidative addition. Both reactions lead to an increase in the oxidation state of the metal by two units and a decrease in the d electron count of the metal by two electrons.
